Hey Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

                  It's only been a few days since my last email but there's been some really great things happening, on Thursday we had another lesson with Takafumi, an investigator who's progressing really well. We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ and keeping the Sabbath day holy which went really well, and then we explained the law of tithing because he asked about whether you have to pay money to join the church. He understands it but he is pretty worried about it because he's a college student with not much money, but he said he'll pray about it and I know he'll be alright. We also the less active member we met last week come to church, and he threw away his cigarettes and quit smoking! He also participated in a lesson with a new investigator, Tougawa in his same apartment building, which was great, he accepted a baptismal date for July 22! We arranged for a member to give him a ride to church on Sunday, that was the reason he didn't come yesterday. Now we just have to help him be ready for baptism by his date! I'm really excited! We also have a couple people we found on the street who we've been talking to online who seem really interested, now we just have to set up times to meet. A lot of really great things are happening, I'm really grateful for how good God has been to us lately. I know that when we strive to give our all to Him, He blesses us, although sometimes it's not in the way we expect our hope for. It is however always in the way that's best for us and for God's other children. Put your trust in Him! I love you all! Have a great week!

Love,

Elder Burton
